We have roaches here in Ontario. When we first moved here, we visited a Chinese restaurant in Alliston ON, ordered food & while waiting watched roaches walking the chair rail of the wainscoting.
I know bakeries in London ON, where I grew up, also had them.

Wow! Lucky! Our palmetto bug friends are always out and about! My husband shot one (with a gun not a camera lol) in the backyard. That was pretty sweet!I've only seen a cockroach once in my life. It was at a mall in Delaware (I think). My mom grabbed a pair of paints that were hanging up on a circular rack - she just pulled the pants out to show me and there was this HUGE cockroach on the pants. Needless to say I didn't buy anything from that mall!!I don't know if we have cockroaches up here but I've never seen one here!sm4him said:I agree, nice capture! I love taking insect pictures. I used to be our troop counselor for the Insect Merit Badge--most of them don't bother me at all. I remember one time, all the 13- and 14-year old boys at summer camp, running up to MY tent, yelling because there was a giant spider in one of THEIR tents...It WAS humongous, but it was just a wolf spider. Wish I'd gotten a picture of it!Snakes don't much bother me either.I'll pick up spiders and most of the insects, as long as I know they're not poisonous. But the one thing I simply CANNOT abide: cockroaches/palmetto bugs. Oh yeah, those things are little insect demons straight out of the pit of hell!! The scourge of the earth. It is the reason I would NEVER consider living in Florida or Texas or S. Carolina. Even the "little" cockroaches we get here in TN, ugh!! Now, THEY make me scream like a girl! Don't know why, I simply can't abide them.My rule is, if I see a cockroach in my house, I kill it. If I see a SECOND cockroach, I move.
Yep, I think that's it! I should've thought of that--I've found several of them and have pics of a few (albeit all with my old point-and-shoot).
But now, you HAVE to go back down there and track it down to find the web! They're so cool, because...well, because they are *funnels*. I have a picture, somewhere, of one coming out of its funnel web, looking straight down into the web...too cool!!
